A business process is typically a collection of related and structured activities or tasks, that depicts a business use case and produces a specific service or output. For example, a banking customer requesting a bank load and getting loan approval is a simple process. An instance of this process is a specific example of this process workflow. So, Mr. Smith requesting for 50,000 USD and getting approval for it is an instance of the "bank loan approval" process. Every time a banking customer makes a request for a loan, that request triggers a new process instance in the BPM system, which flows through the elements of the process workflow according to its design.
